Did U.S. special forces Really Kill Osama Bin Laden?

Although the main stream press was quick to regurgitate President Obama's and the official U.S. military's version of their self proclaimed, well planned and executed Navy Seal mission to assassinate Bin Laden in Pakistan, a number of factors about the raid either don't stack up or leave a lot to be desired.

For example, why did Matt Bissonette, one of very Navy Seal 6 team members who actually pulled the trigger in the assassination, admit in an﻿ interview with Scott Pelley on 60 minutes﻿ that in fact he didn't recognize Bin Laden when he came face to face with him that night in Bin Laden's compound? When asked by Pelley, "Did you recognize him?" Bissonnette replied, "Nope. You know, everybody thinks it was, like, you know it's him. No. To us, at that time, it could have been anybody. Maybe this was another brother. Maybe this is a bodyguard. Maybe, it doesn't matter. The point is to just continue clearing." Bissonnette then claims that a child and woman who were in the room at the time positively identified the man on the floor as Bin Laden . Then his commander came into room and was quoted as saying, "I think thats him!" Not a very convincing recap to convince anyone they actually shot Bin Laden.

The seals then supposedly exited the compound with Bin Laden's body and flew via helicopter out of Pakistan to the USS Carl Vinson - an aircraft carrier parked waiting somewhere in the Mediterranean. However the story takes another strange turn since after the fact it leaked out that none of the 2000+ sailors on that ship ever saw or knew anything about Bin Laden's body being brought to the ship or buried at sea. The sailors only learned about it through the press releases that were rocketing around the world at the time. Shortly after this revelation, the military did their own press release saying the mission had to be kept top secret for the safety of those involved. Really? Well if the mission was so top secret why not tell your own soldiers who were involved (directly or indirectly) before telling the entire world through the press? Furthermore, the military's 'top secret' claim for safety reasons makes little sense considering the President and Vice President both spouted off to the entire world in effect placing a target on every Navy Seal Team 6 member by breaching their confidential involvement in the mission. In fact, one has no choice but to consider the lethal role that Obama and Biden's exposure of the Seal 6 Team may have played in the ﻿ambush of the 17 Navy Seal Team 6 members killed by the Taliban﻿ in Afghanistan only three months after the Bin Laden assassination.

Pakistan Eye Witnesses Tells a Very Different StoryA Pakistani man who owns the house right next to the Bin Laden complex came forward shortly after the alleged assassination and told reporters a very different story of the events he witnessed first hand the night of the Navy Seal mission. Mr. Mohammad Bashir told reporters that while hidden on top of his roof during the Seal attack he saw the Black hawk chopper that landed inside the compound actually explode - killing everyone on board during subsequent lift off including anyone they were trying to take away from the house. Not one single western reporter investigated this story which is shocking considering the many inconsistencies and loose ends told around the 'official' Pentagon/White House version of the story.

Furthermore, the BBC reported that the old man who was supposed to Bin Laden shown on front page news around the world (image above) was recognized by local villagers not as Bin Laden but as a well know elderly local Abbottabad man whose name is 'Akbar Han (sp)' - who apparently is the owner of the Bin Laden complex.

And then there is the US government who still refuses to release any proof whatsoever that these events actually happened or proof that confirms they have in fact killed Osama Bin Laden. The following quote from the Daily Mail sums it up pretty well:

"Although the Obama administration has pledged to be the most transparent in American history, it is keeping a tight hold on materials related to the bin Laden raid. In a response to separate requests from the AP for information about the mission, the Defense Department said in March that it could not locate any photographs or videos taken during the raid or showing bin Laden's body. It also said it could not find any images of bin Laden's body on the Vinson. The Pentagon also said it could not find any death certificate, autopsy report or results of DNA identification tests for bin Laden, or any pre-raid materials discussing how the government planned to dispose of bin Laden's body if he were killed. The Defense Department also refused to confirm or deny the existence of helicopter maintenance logs and reports about the performance of military gear used in the raid. One of the stealth helicopters that carried the SEALs to Abbottabad crashed during the mission and its wreckage was left behind. People who lived near bin Laden's compound took photos of the disabled chopper. The CIA, which ran the bin Laden raid and has special legal authority to keep information from ever being made public, has not responded to AP's request for records about the mission."

So the CIA has legal authority to keep information from the public but the Department of defence does not. That makes the following information all the more intriguing.

A well known Washington watch dog group know as 'Judicial Watch' after suing the USA government under the Freedom of Information Act for information relating to the Bin Laden killing, discovered that one of the Commanders of the Department of Defence instructed his subordinates to destroy any photos of Bin Laden or turn them over to the CIA. This email instruction was given just after Judicial Watch had filed suit for the information.

In summary, after researching this incident and closely examining all the available evidence, it is quite clear the Obama administration and the military completed a well planned and orchestrated incident to bring their long drawn out man hunt to an immediate close. If the secret mission did in fact occur, it is highly unlikely they actually killed Bin Laden for the simple reason that he had most likely long since died. The only remaining question is why stage such an elaborate lie? The obvious motive is certainly timing related. The supposed Bin Laden killing occurred quite conveniently just as the Obama re-election campaign was getting into full swing for the 2012 elections. As close as the election results turned out with Obama winning by a very narrow margin, there can be no doubt that the 'Obama got his man' story may have clinched his re-election. And as reluctant as Obama has been to release any photos or proof to the public that would confirm they killed Bin Laden, there can be little doubt as to Obama's motive for approving the release of the top secret mission details to movie director - Kathryn Bigelow in the making of 'Zero Dark Thirty'. The Washington Times was quoted as saying:

"Internal administration emails released last month in a Freedom of Information lawsuit show extraordinary cooperation between film makers working on a movie about the bin Laden raid and Obama political appointees. At least one person who took part in the raid was made available to the movie’s director and screenwriter, the emails show."
